Falcon Heavy rockets into space

And Musk's Roadster became the fastest vehicle ever, hurtling off the planet and zooming away on a route that will now take it all the way to the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Before dashing off to the red planet, Mr Musk said he would want to try out this spaceship in orbit around Earth - possibly in three to four years with the supersize rocket - and then the moon. While it is a bit dramatic, and the auto is totally useless in space, it is the personal flair we have come to know from Musk as he continues to drive mankind into the stars.

But this test flight wasn't just about jetting something big and expensive into space, it was also about bringing things back down to earth. At a press conference yesterday, he prepared us all for the inevitable shutdown of the most strangely fascinating live stream since Puddle Watch.

Hawthorne, California-based SpaceX already has paying customers committed to flying with Falcon Heavy, including commercial satellite operators Arabsat, Inmarsat and Viasat, according to its launch manifest.
